Who else used to collect Marvel cards? I have almost a complete set with all the holograms from around '91. Those cards were the best. Had all the strengths and weaknesses on the back plus stats for each character.

Anyone see garden state where that guy is saving his collection of desert storm trading cards so he can cash in on them someday? "How much is this one worth, Night vision goggles?"

This thread made me think of that.

I used to collect the marvel cards. Super heroes kick ass. I think It was in third grade when I became obsessed with comic books and most of the other guys were becoming obsessed with sports is when I began my drift towards the loner lifestyle and who I am today. Fucking idiots, marvel comics are great. Gambit from the x-men was my favorite super hero, cause he was smooth with the ladies. He knew he could never be with Rouge physically, but that didn't stop him from trying anyway. Smooth character. I think I still have my cards and comics in a box in my parents basement.

Seriously, comic book superheros were all gay. Look at it. They have this secret identity, where they go out and use fabulous powers. But, they are very concerned with people finding out of their secret identity. They are often targeted by governments, and consipiracies, and are stigmatized by their society. To relate to comic books is to relate to an allegorial version of gay existence.

I'm serious, there is a whole body of work on homosexuality and comic books.
